"To get positive tests for ALL of these substances from the same material suggests a test problem. I also think it's unlikley that the blister agent lewisite would be compatible chemically with sarin and tabun."

They found over 50 barrels of stuff, and the Iraqis are notorious for just tossing things together in storage facilities. After the Guf War, our forces found chemical warheads mixed together with chemical warheads.

I agree with your assessment it's unlikely all the compounds were found in the same barrels together, or it would probably be a problem with the test....but they were just as likely to be in seperate barrels in the same facility.
